Welcome to Seeds of Change!

Introduce the metaphor by explaining that just as a tiny seed grows into a plant, small acts of kindness can blossom into something beautiful. Emphasize that every kind gesture matters.

The Magic of a Seed

Show vivid images of seeds and plants growing. Ask students what they think happens when a seed is planted and relate it to kindness.

Your Kindness Seed

Explain the activity: each student will create their own 'kindness seed' art. Encourage them to think about a small kind act they can do or have done.

Sharing and Growing

Ask open-ended questions to allow students to share their creations and thoughts about kindness. Remind them that every little bit of kindness matters.

Keep Planting Kindness!

Wrap up the lesson by linking the metaphor back to real life. Encourage students to continue practicing kindness and see how it can create a positive ripple effect.
